Open Innovation Challenges

Solving the technological challenges of large companies and entities at the most relevant congresses

The Open Innovation Challenges are business meetings that connect companies and public entities in search of innovative solutions with others offering technology. These B2B events are organized by ACCIÓ as part of the major international congresses held in Catalonia, such as the MWC, the ISE, Alimentaria, the Smart City Expo World Congress or the Advanced Factories, among others.

The Open Innovation Challenges are therefore the ideal space to connect with companies and entities seeking to integrate technological solutions or invest in new technologies through personalized meetings. If your company, tech center or startup offers transformative tech solutions and you want to promote them among corporations from around the world, check out the calendar and book a place at the next great event.

Have a look at the challenges published for each Open Innovation Challenge and get your personalized meeting schedule. Taking part could be the start of major projects!
